PART 4
In this riding video of motorcycle adventure travel around the world we just arrive at the Turkish border with Iraq and cross it in the evening near the city of Zakho. During the Iraqi customs process I get warm welcomes from all directions and a BritishKurd invites me to his house in Duhok for the night.
The ride starts in northern Iraq and progresses south east in Iraqi Kurdistan. An Iraq adventure motorcycle tour! Starting out in Zakho and going through cities like Duhok, passing Mosul, Akre, Erbil, Sulaimani (Sulaymanihah), Halabjah, Dokan and Amedi. Over and along desert regions where the road to the Iraqi capital is luring and the mountainous border with Iran. At one pointI am only 150km from Baghdad and I'm tempted but reports have been conflicting. I'll stand out like a sore thump. Did not go and it ended up being a wise choice. A few days later while drinking with two guys from Baghdad they showed me a recent video of ISIS death squads shooting up innocent people on the highways. This was before ISIS was international headlines. Though soon they would be and I left the country a few days later. Two weeks later ISIS captured Mosul. There is immense beauty in Iraq and one day I would like to do a trip around the whole country. Enjoy this short adventure motorcycle documentary of Iraq. Put together with the bits that I recorded back in 2014.
My name isPedroMota and back in 2014 I left the Netherlands on a beautiful Honda Transalp XL600v dualsport motorbike on a trip to the east end of Russia in Vladivostok. On the way there I would take a big detour through the Middle East, Central Asia and Mongolia. Little did I know back then that this would evolve into a years long motorcycle travel further taking me through Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the American continent.

Iraq War

The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict that began with the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition. The invasion regime toppled the government of Saddam Hussein. However, the conflict continued for much of the next decade as an insurgency emerged to oppose the occupying forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government. An estimated 151,000 to 600,000 or more Iraqis were killed in the first 3–4 years of conflict. The United States officially withdrew from the country in 2011 but became re-involved in 2014 at the head of a new coalition; the insurgency and many dimensions of the civil armed conflict continue.

The invasion began on 20 March 2003, with the U.S., joined by the United Kingdom and several coalition allies, launching a "shock and awe" bombing campaign. Iraqi forces were quickly overwhelmed as U.S. forces swept through the country. The invasion led to the collapse of the Ba'athist government; Saddam was captured in December 2003 and executed by a military court three years later. However, the power vacuum following Saddam's demise and the mismanagement of the occupation led to widespread sectarian violence between Shias and Sunnis as well as a lengthy insurgency against U.S. and coalition forces. The United States responded with a troop surge in 2007 to attempt to reduce the violence. The U.S. began withdrawing its troops in the winter of 2007–08. The winding down of U.S. involvement in Iraq accelerated under President Barack Obama. The U.S. formally withdrew all combat troops from Iraq by December 2011.

The war is also known under other names, such as the Persian Gulf War, First Gulf War, Gulf War I, Kuwait War, First Iraq War, or Iraq War before the term "Iraq War" became identified instead with the 2003 Iraq War.
The Iraqi Army's occupation of Kuwait that began 2 August 1990 was met with international condemnation, and brought immediate economic sanctions against Iraq by members of the United Nations Security Council. US President George H. W. Bush deployed US forces into Saudi Arabia and urged other countries to send their own forces to the scene. An array of nations joined the Coalition, the largest military alliance since World War II. The great majority of the Coalition's military forces were from the US, with Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and Egypt as the next-leading contributors, in that order. Saudi Arabia paid around US$36 billion of the US$60 billion cost.

United States (album)

United States is the first full length hard rock collaborative album between hard rock guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert and singer Freddie Nelson. The collaboration has been described as a cross between Queen and Mr. Big.

In 1881, after the Confederacy purchased the Mexican states of Chihuahua and Sonora, President James G. Blaine of the United States declared war. With the help of British and French forces, the Confederate States again defeat the United States in the Second Mexican War, forcing the latter to cede a portion of northern Maine to the Canadian province of New Brunswick. After this defeat, the United States turned to Germany for military assistance and training, and the national mood of the U.S. changed to desire of revenge against the enemies that surrounded the U.S.—Canada, from where Britain invaded the U.S., and the Confederacy.

Fall of Iraq (2003) | A Day That Shook the World

A Day That Shook the World recalls the days of the 20th century that proved to be era-defining and pivotal in the course of modern history. These are the days on which political revolutions, technological breakthroughs, and sporting triumphs took place, and whose effects were felt the world-over. Beginning with the funeral of Queen Victoria and recounting such iconic events as the Hindenburg airship disaster and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the series also contains concise overviews of more recent events such as the Asian Tsunami and the 2012Olympic bid. Narrated by John Humphrys.
BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it. Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 120,000 items from the news agencies GaumontGraphic (1910-1932), Empire NewsBulletin (1926-1930), BritishParamount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1979.

PART 4
In this riding video of motorcycle adventure travel around the world we just arrive at the Turkish border with Iraq and cross it in the evening near the city of Zakho. During the Iraqi customs process I get warm welcomes from all directions and a BritishKurd invites me to his house in Duhok for the night.
The ride starts in northern Iraq and progresses south east in Iraqi Kurdistan. An Iraq adventure motorcycle tour! Starting out in Zakho and going through cities like Duhok, passing Mosul, Akre, Erbil, Sulaimani (Sulaymanihah), Halabjah, Dokan and Amedi. Over and along desert regions where the road to the Iraqi capital is luring and the mountainous border with Iran. At one pointI am only 150km from Baghdad and I'm tempted but reports have been conflicting. I'll stand out like a sore thump. Did not go and it ended up being a wise choice. A few days later while drinking with two guys from Baghdad they showed me a recent video of ISIS death squads shooting up innocent people on the highways. This was before ISIS was international headlines. Though soon they would be and I left the country a few days later. Two weeks later ISIS captured Mosul. There is immense beauty in Iraq and one day I would like to do a trip around the whole country. Enjoy this short adventure motorcycle documentary of Iraq. Put together with the bits that I recorded back in 2014.
My name isPedroMota and back in 2014 I left the Netherlands on a beautiful Honda Transalp XL600v dualsport motorbike on a trip to the east end of Russia in Vladivostok. On the way there I would take a big detour through the Middle East, Central Asia and Mongolia. Little did I know back then that this would evolve into a years long motorcycle travel further taking me through Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the American continent.

These 2 Islamic republics of Iran and Iraq both are some of the oldest civilizations in the world.

Iraq goes back to the powerful Babylonian empire who's splendor still is the subject of study to this day. As history tells us, the area Iraq is located was once conquered by the Persian Ruler Cyrus the Great. But you decide which country you like better as I do a side by side comparison of Iran and Iraq.

A Day That Shook the World recalls the days of the 20th century that proved to be era-defining and pivotal in the course of modern history. These are the days on which political revolutions, technological breakthroughs, and sporting triumphs took place, and whose effects were felt the world-over. Beginning with the funeral of Queen Victoria and recounting such iconic events as the Hindenburg airship disaster and the Cuban Missile Crisis, the series also contains concise overviews of more recent events such as the Asian Tsunami and the 2012Olympic bid. Narrated by John Humphrys.
BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it. Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 120,000 items from the news agencies GaumontGraphic (1910-1932), Empire NewsBulletin (1926-1930), BritishParamount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1979. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. https://www.britishpathe.com/

Iraq War

The Iraq War was a protracted armed conflict that began with the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition. The invasion regime toppled the government of Saddam Hussein. However, the conflict continued for much of the next decade as an insurgency emerged to oppose the occupying forces and the post-invasion Iraqi government. An estimated 151,000 to 600,000 or more Iraqis were killed in the first 3–4 years of conflict. The United States officially withdrew from the country in 2011 but became re-involved in 2014 at the head of a new coalition; the insurgency and many dimensions of the civil armed conflict continue.

The invasion began on 20 March 2003, with the U.S., joined by the United Kingdom and several coalition allies, launching a "shock and awe" bombing campaign. Iraqi forces were quickly overwhelmed as U.S. forces swept through the country. The invasion led to the collapse of the Ba'athist government; Saddam was captured in December 2003 and executed by a military court three years later. However, the power vacuum following Saddam's demise and the mismanagement of the occupation led to widespread sectarian violence between Shias and Sunnis as well as a lengthy insurgency against U.S. and coalition forces. The United States responded with a troop surge in 2007 to attempt to reduce the violence. The U.S. began withdrawing its troops in the winter of 2007–08. The winding down of U.S. involvement in Iraq accelerated under President Barack Obama. The U.S. formally withdrew all combat troops from Iraq by December 2011.
